Microsoft released their first hardware in 1980 and it was only compatible with Apple.

If I told you that in 1980 Microsoft was a manufacturer of equipment for applewould you believe? Well, I think you’d better start believing because it’s true!

Although it was a short period, it was vital for Apple II PC was such a famous computer at the time. See in the text how this whole story unfolded before the success of Windows.

Z80 SoftCard, the Microsoft card that powered the Apple II computer.

Z80 SoftCard this is the name of a board released on April 2, 1980, over 43 years ago. This happened before Microsoft Releases MS-DOS. This fact was mentioned by Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, at the press conference for the launch of the Microsoft Surface in 2012. What’s even more incredible is that the Z80 was designed for the outdated Apple II PC.

At launch, in the company’s early days, its offices had just moved from Albuquerque, New Mexico to Bellevue, Washington. In accordance with Computer World (published at the time) October 1980, the idea came from Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. According to information from nicole expressand did not have RAM in its structure.

The reason for this partnership is that while the Apple II computer was a very popular computer, it couldn’t run a few work-oriented programs—and most consumers wanted to use the device for that purpose—because its processor wasn’t compatible with those programs. Zilog Z80 was compatible with programs running on Intel 8080 processorsand Allen believed that with this additional board, the Apple II computer would be able to run Microsoft BASIC, in addition to the CP / M operating system, which further opens up a number of possibilities for using other programs for Apple computers. And by giving users the opportunity to use the most famous word processing program of the time on their Apple II PC, wordstar – which is said to be the program used by G.G. Martin, creator Game of Thronesup to this day.

Allen was able to prove himself right, and at the time of its release, the Z80 SoftCard, priced at $349, was a bestseller and was Microsoft’s revenue that year.

Over time, Microsoft added a 16K RAM card to the Z80, and later a 64K version on board.

Although all Microsoft’s efforts did not last long – less than 10 years. It served the company to earn and shape the market at the time by producing similar products for IBM thereby arousing the interest of other companies to follow the path laid out by her. She then focused on the software and the rest is history.
